Yesterday I went to turn back on the computer, and I was unable to login using my original password. I looked in the manual that came with my Powerbook G4, and followed the directions to reset my password. However, I was unable to reset the password, so I then decided it was time to just reinstall the OS X operating system, but was given an error that the software could not install. When I went to re-install the software again (restarted the computer with the Disk 1 inserted), the hard disk was no where to be found. I have no idea what to do (I'm still a relative newbie as far as Macs go), and I am only able to get to the Installation screen if I load my Disk 1, otherwise my computer will not do anything but display a blank screen with the little circular image in the middle.
I have done everything in the manual regarding re-installation, but there doesn't seem to be anything in there for my particular situation.
Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated!
